Freaks Of San Francisco Women.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
The women OF San Francisco are being seized
with the mania OF wearing mems clothes. There
have been many more scandals OF this character
lately than have ever got into the columns OF the
daily press There Is something delightfully."-
morbid about reversing ones sex. And there are
few things Delightfully."- morbid to which the
women OF San Francisco have not attained Moth
ing, indeed shows how fast this gay young town

women invariably think they are disguised when
Dudevant George sand thought to enter q

A Drawn Rattle.

From the Detroit Free Press.
In the last days OF March two windmill agents
called on a Wayne County farmer at the same
time and under the circumstances each felt 1t in
cumbent on him to do his level best to make a
sale. One talked, and then the other talked and
then both talked at once, and each talked so well
that the farmer could not make up his mind which
mill TO take. He finally said:
gentlemen, see only one way to do. You are
both about OF a size. and you can come out TO the
barn, peel OF your coats and go att The one who
ticks makes SALE"
The agents agreed, and In q few minutes were
hard at 1t. They upset the tanning mill, smashed
In the granary door, broke the hind spring or the
family carriage, and frightened young calf into
fits as they thraShed around, and as the afternoon
waned and the sun began 10 go down without

CITY AND DISTRICT.
ODD FELLOWS IN THE DISTRICT.
Tne First Lodge Instituted Fifty Years
Ago I'm Milburn,s Tavern.

Ihe history OF Odd Fellowship in the District OF
Colulnpia dates back almost to the establishment
OF the nrSt American lodge in Baltimore In 1927,
when the Grand Lodge numbered only fourteen
subordinate lodges, lodge established in this
Guy. Mr.. Thos. N. Albeit, who had been initiated
IN fhiadelphia, was the prime mover in the estab-
1shment of this lodge. The names associated with
MS Oh Inc application for charter were those OF
Robt Boyd, John Cragg, Thos. Smith, and Samuel
krOpp. The charter was granted November Il,
1877, ana on the 26th Of November Mr.. Wildey
came over from Baltimore and instituted the lodge
at Mliburn's tavern, three-stOried double build
ing on street, between 18th and 14th streets
nor nosInwest: The evening the lodge was opened
Arthur Mcintyre, John Wells jr., Geo. d. Spencer,
e. M Davis, ThOs Steele j. N. MOulder, j. Douglas,
John Elvin, B. Hurley and Mr.. MilDurn, the host.
John Farrar was admitted by card. Two rooms
were rented by this lodge in the courthouse, and
tne lodge met there in January, 1928. The first
IN October, 1928. the deceased being Mr.. George
Walker After the institution Of this first lodge,
tne organization grew rapidly several lodges hay;
to have been too rapid for the good OF the order
q decline followed, and In 1881 and 1882 some OF
Inc lodges closed up. Some OF the members OF
1889, and founded Washington Lodge, which met
In washington Library Hall, on 18th street, below
PENNSYLVANIA avenue. After this the anti-Ma-
sonic excitement retarded the growth OF the order
for time, but prosperity soon returned. Mr.. Abb
bett was the first representative OF the District il
the Grand Lodge in 1929. Mr.. Gettys, OF the
Georgetown Lodge, became Grand Sire OF the order
In America in 1888. The late Capt. w. w. Moore,
father OF Col w. G. Moore, and the late F. D. Stu
art OF this city, also filled the office of Grand Sire.
Central and Washington Lodges after meeting q
few years in the Library building, moved to a
hall on c street, between ~ and 9th streets
About 1889 these lodges moved to the old Circuit
Court room In the courthouse building, where
they remained until the new hall, On 9TH street,
was completed, in 1916. Many new lodges were
organized about this time.
The Encampment branch Of Odd Fellowship was
mace distinctive branch OF the order In 1877.
one June Z, 1888, application was made for char
Ter for an Encainpment here, to be known as Co
lumDla, NO. i, and it was issued. The Encampment
was instituted in the hall on street, between AZ
and 9th, January g. 1884, and met in that hall I'M
TIL september. 1910, when 1t moved to the court
house. Other Encampments followed in later
years. this branch OF the order being very popular,
and having included In its membership many dis
t1nguished citizens.

Nh. GLADSTONE AND LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL
CRrTICISK THE PROPOSALS.

CRrrICIsK THE PROPOSALS.
When the house OF commons went into commit
tee on the budget last night Mr.. Gladstone made
a severe attack on Mr.. Goschen's budget. He con-
tended that the main proposals OF the budget were
at variance with sound financial principles Re
garding the tobacco duties it was easier TO reduce
the duty than get rid OF It. The manufacture
OF tobacco would certainly be benefited, but the
reduction would never reach the consumer Re
per pound would doubtless be a peculiar boom
AT the same time the propose: was against sound
financial principles because such reduction
should arise from rigid system OF public econ
omy, not at the expense OF the sinking fund. The
house had been asked 10 reduce the fund from
e1,oO0,OOO to f5,00o, COO Serious rejection could
ditfons so contrary to the interests OF the British
nation. IL was the first time that a proposal OF
this nature had been made in the history OF the
becoming richer than ever before.
Lord Randolph Churchill praised the 'weighty
friend of the government, he must condemn the
policy OF making grants In aid OF local taxation:
he ga 5ae Of the sinking M
Mr.. Gladstone, in whose general criticisms OF the
budget he fully concurred. He quoted from
speeches made by Mr.. Goschen In 1885 In support
that Mr.. GoSchens budget had Quashed all his
hopes OF public economy.
to consider the objections to the issuing OF new
stock for loans With reference TO the tobacco du-
ties he defended the reduction OF the duty on the
ground that the increase had not answered expec-
tatiOns, having checked consumption, while It
failed TO bring the anticipated revenue. He was
confident that in few years the loss arising from
the current years reduction would be recovered.
Mr.. Cremer {radicaD asked Mr.. Goschen II he
knew that the reduction OF the duty oDtobacco
would throw out OF employment several thousand
men engaged In the tobacco trade in London. Mr..
Goschen replied that he had arranged to confer on
that subject with delegates from the workmen
themselves.
After further discussion the budget resolutions
were agreed to.
II is generally thought that Mr.. Gladstones at
tack upon Mr.. G0Schens financial plans will cause
the government to modify its local loan proposals.
and probably its proposals relative TO the tobacco
duty, but IT is believed that the main features OF
the sinktng-fund and tncome-tax reductions will
be maintained.

It Is understood this company viii ship at least

shipped pretty steadily during the dull period, are
doing more than they have been. Thirteen boats
cleared to-day, the largest number for over two
weeks past The daily average lately has not
